The High Court has ruled that a planned biomass conversion at Drax power station is eligible for a Contract for Difference under DECC’s Final Investment Decision Enabling mechanism.The coal-to-bio rejig at the 600MW Yorkshire facility’s second unit was turned down in April while one on the third unit won backing. Drax Group, which had previously been told the scheme was eligible, kicked off a legal challenge immediately.
